The PUB light's ON! :D

[Mrleft8]

not yet... I'm trying to find a decent broadaxe to pack for my host..

Carrion luggage must fit in the overhead compartment, or stow under the seat in front of you......

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hell Lefty, people are just foolin witcha, you would have to take mean pills to just not be real nice. You and Carter are the best. Have a beer and if that dont help we can try that Advantage stuff.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Yesterday after the funeral, we were talkin about what to do with our remains. I told them I was donating my body to science. The Tequila delivery girl got a good laugh out of that one. She said what the hell will they do with it. I told her they will hang it up on the wall and point out all the things not to do if you want to live a long time. She said I'll drink to that.

[Mrleft8]

I figured I'd donate my body to a good and worthy charity, and they could auction it off to the highest bidder..... Maybe Some wooden boat school, or some such......

[Bobby of Tulsa]

We all be dreamers.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

You can trust your car, to the man who wears a star. So Lefty where can I find a Texaco man. No such animal in Okieland.

Grilled Lizard? Never et lizard before, but I"ll give it a go. (If it tastes like chicken, why bother?) With a dewy glass of St. Clair Sauv Blanc from the Godzone.

My potato plants froze last night. 29°F on the bloody summer solstice. And today in the 80s. What an infernal climate we have here. Did some electrical work on the research cat. Painted the motor mount for the skiff. I'll put it together tomorrow.

We're having a batty old neighbour over for dinner. She and I have no religion and the same politics, and she still manages to start an argument. But I resolve not to be disagreeable— wish me luck.

Good luck to ya Sir, sorry about your taters. We are supposed to go into a heat wave after tomorrow. That means I will be lucky to save what maters I have and there wont be anymore till fall.The joys of gardening.

Does Texaco have clean workshops? Inquiring minds wish to know.....

Seanz, Is it to early or late for you to have a Gin?

[seanz]

It's just about Noon here, so if you're offering.......

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I am offering, I kinda need a friend tonight.

[seanz]

A gin would be good. Just the one though, the Sun is shining again today and I want to get out in it.

Got to do a quick trip into town, pick up some furniture that SWIMPAL bought yesterday.

It's a dining table, matches the coffee table we have. That's how to do things, right?

[seanz]

[Mrleft8]

There's Texaco stations all over around here.... I used to only buy gas at Texaco because the price was lower, and it just seemed to last longer.... Then I lost the Texaco card, and had to use Chevron for a bit....... That was when I was out in NoCal with a diesel wagon.... I think that there are 4 Chevron stations in all of NoCal.... Luckilly, one was in Ft, Bragg, One was in Willits, One was in Healdsburg, and the other was way down by Marin.... Of course that car got 55mpg loaded to the floorboards with the springs rolly things.....turning into

When it comes to Irish music, The Pogues are low, the Chieftains are high, and the Corrs are dead center.

A Fleetwood Mac cover:

[SaltyD from BC]

Ya know Chip I must confess I don't quite get the high and low of Great Britain, I mean my wifes's ancestors arrived in Nova Scotia as dirt poor near dead 'high land Scotts' in the 1700s. Apparantly their share cropper gig stopped when the British land owners and local managers found a better way to make a few more bucks. The low lands were the place to be. Other than language snobbishness and such. But to the question at hand, I'll go with the Pogues.

[Farfalla]

Hi Guys, a quick "head in the door" and I'll try and get back later.
You all seem to be doing well.
Have fun,
Sophie

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Dangit, I turn my head for a minute and that Sophie is flying away again. Ok, butterfly net ready.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Coffee is a brewing, ready when you are.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Happy birthday DavidG. A Bloody Mary for you, and hope you have a good day.

I got a PM from Sir Limpsalot yesterday...... But his PM box is over-full, so he can't get my response..... Do you suppose he'll stop in here today for a nice room temperature Clamato, and a raw egg, sugar, and onion sandwich?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Mornin Mr.Left, Glad somebody finally woke up.

[Mrleft8]

Aldo made sure I was completely awake as soon as Carter walked out the door...... He wanted to be sure there was someone to keep an eye on things while he went back to sleep until 10.....

[Mrleft8]

I figured you might like this version of this song, Bobby..... It's the one I liked best back in the day...... Mostly because it irritated all my friends....

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I am thinkin some of that wildlife has caught ChrisB and dragged him off into the bushes. At least I hope thats what is going on. I guess since I know someone is having a Birthday, I just as well celebrate. Beer and Mezcal please. I been up since two so it is lunch time for me.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

You got some good taste in music. I can just see some of these guys now, and this is one of them days that I need to get on someones nerves. Big ol ear to ear grin.

(Aldo's stayin home today..... Don't need any numbnutz harassing me about hot cars and puppies and such...... If the idiots would just get out of the way, I'd be down, and back before Aldo even knew it wasn't March..... But throw in a few clueless morons with SUVs and cell phones, and peroxide leaching into their brains from the hair roots...... And next thing ya know, it's September......)

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Do you suppose he'll stop in here today for a nice room temperature Clamato, and a raw egg, sugar, and onion sandwich?

Sounds great, but please chill the Clamato.

Lefty, I cleaned out my mailbox, it was full of dust and cobwebs. Sorry!

[Paul Pless]

Hi Allan!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hey Allan, I think there is still some of that lime pepsi left.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

I'll take what's left.
How's Bobby doing?

Paul, I've seen an old Volvo sport wagon (or whatever) down at the yacht club, same one you saw earlier. Looks like it's a 'daily driver'.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Seems I am still hanging on. Long time no see, how are you doing?

[Paul Pless]

Paul, I've seen an old Volvo sport wagon (or whatever) down at the yacht club, same one you saw earlier. Looks like it's a 'daily driver'.

Yeah he wanted $10K for it, but they are really only worth about half that. I like them though.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Can't complain.

[Canoez]

Hi Allan! LTNS!

"< RANT >"

I'm ready to strangle a whole service department at a car dealership. SWMBO bought at Toyota Rav4 from the dealership and has had it serviced there since we purchased it. Generally we've been happy with the quality and price of service. Until now. The vehicle has started to consume oil at an alarming rate. (~1qt per 1000 miles or so on an engine with 80K miles) and when we brought it in, we'd thought they hadn't added oil at the last service. They stonewalled us about issues, but started an "engine oil consumption test". We went home and found out that there was a service bulletin on the car and that if it consumed 1 qt per 1200 miles it would be the subject of a huge warranty service - if the car has less than 60K miles. The idiots at the garage put a piece of electrical tape to mark the dipstick and now the tape is loose in the engine somewhere. The wife has brought it in to get this resolved and gets stonewalled by the service advisor after I've just spoken to the service manager on the phone. The b!t*h of it is, we're planning to leave at noon for a paddling trip and we don't want to take a car with a piece of electrical tape loose in the oil system - plugged lube system - engine failure anyone? Grrrr... B@st@rds...

" < END RANT > "

So, how's your day going?

Courage, please, Lefty - and keep it coming.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Big difference between what people ask and what they will get.
It's usually is a sign that his wife wants him to sell the car and he doesn't want to.
("I promise we will redo the kitchen as soon as we sell the car"). Not that I have ever said anything like that.

me either!

I think I'm safe saying that here today, Kat usually only comes to the pub to get a drink of whiskey when she's mad at me about something.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Are you implying that Kat has no reason to be mad at you today? Hard to believe!

[Paul Pless]

Hard to believe!

Yeah I know!! But its true!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Maybe someone could text her and mention this thread.
